I know what's bugging me about Sanchez. I see him making the same mistakes over and over and over. Not throwing the ball away, missing easy passes, inaccurate throws to open Wr's, the list seems to go on for quite some time. Its his 4th year and the lightbulb still hasn't come on yet. I'm thinking perhaps by year 7 or 8, Sanchez will finally develop but the learning curve he's on is entirely too flat to make a difference near term. Maybe the Qb coach should be canned. Perhaps the CS shouldn't crawl into a shell at inopportune times. Maybe drafting better talent at the skill positions on offense would help him. Right now, Sanchez 4.0 looks too much like Sanchez 1.0 for my taste.
this is a complete joke. We were down 10 points. the defense got a stop. we were down 10 points again, defense got a stop, we scored we were down 3, defense got a stop we scored we were tied, special teams force a turnover. so lets not put this on the defense. they were facing the leagues best offense, limited them all game, and got huge stops late to allow the offense to come back
what happened up 3 w/ just over a minute left? what happened in OT? The D played great for 58 mns but like so often in the past they blew it w/ the game on the line.
they held the NFL's best offense to 20 points in regulation. cant ask for much more then that. even still, they held NE to a FG in overtime. giving the offense a chance to win or tie. this one is 100% not on the defense. they showed up and played as well as could be expected. the jets offense, playing against the leagues worse secondary, couldnt get it done.
The game was blown when the JETS couldn't score a TD after the fumble recovery. We were only in this game because of the DEFENSE.
Sanchez will NEVER learn that he has to protect the football at all times. It seems like half the times he is sacked he coughs it up.
Even the Sanchez defenders have to admit that attempted TD pass that was picked was laughably bad. I would say it is the worst thrown ball I've ever witnessed. It reminded me of playing backyard football with my friends when I was 12. What made it particularly bad was Greene was WIDE OPEN with about 20 yards of daylight ahead of him. Well another pick in the red zone, another week where Sanchez completely folds shop in the waning minutes of a winnable game. More of the same, I agree he sucks and the Jets need to move on. I've changed course on Rex, I think what he's done to date with this relatively talent-less team is amazing, the Jets should be 5-3 right now. Under Rex the Jets are really a franchise QB away from a Super Bowl, but in his fourth year this kid still makes the same boneheaded plays. You're outside the pocket and instead of simply throwing the ball away you slide for a 3 yard loss? What the hell is that? It's crap like that all game long.
Didn't like the OT play calls. Greene is hurt and you ran a gimpy McKnight into the line to set up obvious passing downs. Just poor play calls when they had controlled the air for the entire second half.. Sanchez was 16/20 in the 2nd half and in OT they ran. Sporano just lacks a feel for the game and situation.
I can't wait until the day that the Jets finally draft a franchise QB who lives up to the hype. I've yet to see that in my life.
i agree, although its 4 down territory given the situation, i dont mind a 2 or 3 yard gain, giving us 3 cracks to get 7 yards. so i understand it to an extent.
I wasn't crazy about the 1st down run calls, but they were moving the chains (two first downs) until that 2nd down play where Sanchez fumbled. They had four downs to work with, so messing up on first down wasn't the worst thing in the world.
Does anyone remember how we won the 2006 game in NE? Man Brady sucks. He fumbled after getting sacked.....
Defensive holding and one completion if you want to be exact. Here was OT for ya 1st & 10 - Pass to Greene - 3 yards 2nd & 7 - Run McKnight - 2 yards 3rd & 5 - Incomplete pass - Defensive Holding 1st & 10 - Run McKnight - loss 2 yards 2nd & 12 - Pass to Kerely - 17 yards 1st & 10 - Run McKnight - no gain 2nd & 10 - Sack & Fumble - Game over 4 passes, 3 runs
Really? I would imagine that it happens a lot in the NFL when you get blind sided or hit just perfectly. It happens to every QB. Sanchez got rocked on that play by Ninkovich who was running free right at Sanchez.
not to pick nits, but I believe they gave up 17 in regulation and 3 in OT. ST gave up 7 and offense 2. 17 points against NE is better than you could hope for, the Ravens gave up 30
